by some correspondents TO be the edic
issued to the ultra fashionable for thi
summer, nut multitudes 90 to these pleas
uIe hzuuts to luxurisre in the salt set
waves and give little heed to the ne
reuOusse of those VINO deem themselye:
too aristocratc 10 indulge in such pleas

There sre enough of bathers to employ
the inventive genius Of mOdistes in pre-
pairing within the narrow limit of bathing
costumes, something original, serviCesblC
snG pretty, g combination by no means
easy OF attainment.
There is little doubt that fashion i.
growing more reasonable and eXtrayagan
cies in the surf are Just as much con
demned s. On the boulevard.
s move in that direction is the abolish
ment Of the IOw-neCked and s1Ort-sleevej
bathing suit. Al some Of the watering
places this summer, the bathing master
has preempJCriIy forbidden ladies' in
deCollete costume going out, much 10 the
Chagrin o. the COquettish fair ones, who
uselessly protested to him that they had
no other, and that these costumes were
new and prepared expressly for the SEES
be sea nymph had to yield obedience to
the king on the shore.
To meet this demand for decency, the
new style is made of flannel, gray OF gay
striped or the why aIl-wool serge. The
nigh necked yoke has q skirt plated On
which reaches when belted in, mid wGv
between the ankle and the knee. Full
Turkish trousers button at the ankle,
stockings to match have cork sole, TO
protect the feet Ia walking. The sleeves
are cut straight, not very full, but con
fined at the wrist by a DuttOned cuff or
band some prefer 2 ti9Tipg cuff 20
fsll over the hands and protect them. a
light shade nat can be made OF wash silk
gathered on rEltsns, others use q bright
Madras silk handkerchief kn0tted pTectily
over crimps end head.
AlFrenchman objected to suicide by
.drOwning on account Of his being damp,
- uisagreeable corpse. ard TO svoid 2 some
what similar appearance, the modiste has
thOughtfulIy devised q robe TO be
dOnned as soon IS the bather
energies from the water, which VIII
commend Itself. The garment is cut on
theplan Of an opera robe with long, easy
sleeves and g hooded collar, and finished
with ribbon strings that tie st the neck
and belt. The goods is USuslIy Turkish
cloth Of white OF cCru ground with brick
red stripes, but p0ngee silks faced with
Dretelles or 8 Fedora front Of gay wash
silk are ordered by patrons of tsstidious
taste. This wrap is carried 10y the
friend or servant attending the fair diver.
The moment she leaves the wster it Is
thrown abou' her and tied at the neck
and waste so that her retreat TO the hotel
or ORth-hOuse IS pleasing and modest.
Those who prefer q heavier wrap use
pressed flannel of pink and white or
pink and blue blocks. Made like new
market, and worn with nat and rubber
or cork bathing slippers s girl can very
comfortably walk along the beach and
select her own party without being driven
into boisterOus group in order to escape
the jeeriDg crowd on the sand.
Partisan as well as other reporters
agree in saying that white is decidedly
the most favored color, white sursh, cash
mere and muslin being equally favored
fabrics. Cambria dresses are worn, but
simply made. They are nothing but long,
straight, gathered skirts, with bands CT
embroidered insertion, wide ribbon baby
sashes, embroidered yOkes, and full
sleeves clustereI into g cuff matching the
insertions.
pretty new model is Of white serge
and beige-COlOred embroidery. The skirt
of white serge hiss panel on the left
side entirely covered with pretty en-
bTOidery pattern beige-colOred sOutsChe;
The dTapeTy almost entirely covering the
skirt, is OF beige. COl0Ted Vigogne The
bodice is also OF the vlgOgne, cut
with point in front and pOstilliOu basque
az the back, II is trimmed in front with
s plastron Of white serge embroidered in
SoutRche, as well IS the collar and cuffs.
One can freshen up Il dress and give it
new effect by wearing the points of the
bodice under the band Of the skirt and
arrange q sash around the waist, tying il
at the side. This is especially effective
with dresses of etsmine or batiste, and
throat bow snd sleeve ribbons match in
color the sash.
There IS also pretty combination in
white albstTCss, tennis flannel and
.watered silk which makes g
pity reserve dress Tor lawn
patty, concert or afternoon tea.
II q tslI effect is desired, MORE viii
better accomplish that desire, IS the
stripes are more decided. Instead Of a
complete silk skirt, combine the two
fabrics, using the silk for g narrow vest ]
in the basque Snd also as 8 facing for one /
side of the drspery. White hannels are be- |
ing worked up with dark velvets, such as
ctger brown, myrtle green, or black, with |
striking effect. Long waists are arrested /
by 8,yest of velvet set in the bodice, back /
and front, half the depth of the basque, /
and short waists are seemingly heightened /
by tull-length vest. All skirts are two /
and one-half yards in width, very long
drapery are fancled, sleeves refulled from
the shoulder to the elbow, and the "high- |
tOnedn collar is the within of the hour. |
This yoke-like finish is wired and |
standsicloser but not so high as sn Eliza
bethsn ruff. The slaves of dress will be !
delighted TO know that tirst-class mod |
istes no longer add the cushion-liKe bus
tie TO suits. The usual number of extern
sion reeds are used, but the smallest is
attached so as to form the required dis
tension al the back of the basque.
The millinery for midsummer differs
but little from the spring exhibit, but
wide hats are sold to the exclusion of
other styles. These are pinned up at the
back or on both sides, but left to shade
the face. OF course, only tall women can
wear them, and little women must con-
tent themselves with sailor shapes.
These sre pretty when made CT shirred
muslin, with ruflle of lace under the
orlm and DOW of white ribbon nesr the
crown forming background for an i'm
mense cluster of field daisies.
